floor he lost his balance and tumbled head
long to the bottom, striking on his right
shoulder and side OF his head. He lay until
picked up and carried into the house, when
few gasping sounds issued from his throat

ing alive. After a critical examination, in
which no bones were found to be broken, it
was seen that the unfortunate man was suf-
fering from severe concussion Of the brain.
Everything has been done to render his con-
dition comfortable, but the victim still lies
in a state of insensibility. from which he
